Lag – other models: heavy truck series with variants from E180 to T 270 Z, five- and six-cylinder engines up to 12 litres, gross weights from 7.2 to 18 tonnes
This page collects seven heavy Lag chassis with designations such as E180, G350ZA and T 270 Z, plus the names De Smet and Smet, under which the register apparently lists a separate model variant. The letter-and-number combinations do not follow one recognisable scheme, though the numbers in E180 and T 270 Z roughly match engine output in horsepower. Similar multi-axle chassis were widely used across Europe for heavy haulage, as a substitute for tractor units, or as a base for special bodies such as cranes or mobile workshops.

The register lists 7 variants here with five- and six-cylinder engines from 2,998 to 11,967 cm³, kerb weights from 3,850 to 13,030 kg and gross weights from 7,200 to 18,000 kg. Lengths range from 8,950 to 11,930 mm, widths from 2,300 to 2,500 mm.
With lengths of up to nearly 12 metres and gross weights up to 18 tonnes, the Lag chassis rank among the heavy multi-axle trucks used in long-haul and specialist transport. In this weight class such chassis compete with models from established brands like MAN, Scania and Volvo, which serve the same market segment.
When buying used, these long, heavy chassis call for checks on the frame and axles, the brake system and the condition of the body; since the make is little known, it is worth checking parts availability for the engine and drivetrain before buying.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
